Doesn't Sun have a GC on the PermGen? Or is it just low priority, meaning this won't happen on production servers. Even in a the common production host you deploy a lot. They might be further apart, but they are many none the less. And these servers are usually solid, meaning they don't fall over. I will easily reach 10 deployments without a server restart.
Though on my dev machine I have gone to about 20 deployments (around there - I just counted the log entries from server start while pressing page down the whole time and counted 18) before it gave a permgen. This was in a 2 hour period. If this is going to be a problem, is JRocket expensive?
